Is it possible to divide author in writer and artist

[EvB63]

Hello,

I use for some time now Calibre and I love it, but I've got lots of comics and I would like to divide the author into writer and artist. Is that possible???

thank you,

@EvB63 - Lets assume you're cool with using the existing Author column for Writer.

Add a custom column using the Peoples Names 'pre-set' at the top of Add Custom Column and call it artist/Artist.

If you want one for translator Add another one, translator/Translator

If you then wanted to create composite column called say contributors/Contributors then use one of the column built from other columns types with a template something like

program: 
	list1  = re(field('authors'), ',', ';');
	list2  = re(field('#artist'),  ',', ';');
	list3  = re(field('#translator'),  ',', ';');
	list_union
	( 
		re(list1, '&', ','),
		re(list2, '&', ','),
		re(list3, '&', ','),
		','
	)
